White Supremacy Anthropogenic Climate Change, and What Lawyers Can Do
summary
Panelists argue environmental racism is deliberate, show tools and pilots: a Philadelphia proposal requires a health grading stop before new permits and a cumulative impacts legislation assessment that can bar permits in overburdened neighborhoods; a coalition repurposes Rikers as a renewable jobs site and wins local bills; nuisance suits and cleanup litigation prove slow and piecemeal while advocates push for a sandoval fix to enable disparate impact claims and for local climate plans that prioritize workforce protections and housing repair.
